BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to novel benzothiepines, derivatives and analogs thereof, in combination with HI~IG Co-A reductase inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and use of these compositions in medicine, particularly in the prophylaxis and treatment of hyperlipidemic conditions such as is associated with atherosclerosis or hypercholesterolemia, in mammals.
Description of Related Art It is well-settled that hyperlipidemic conditions associated with elevated concentrations of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol are major risk factors for coronary heart disease and particularly atherosclerosis. Interfering with the circulation of bile acids within the lumen of~the intestinal tract is found to reduce the levels~of serum cholesterol in a causal relationship. Epidemiological data has accumulated which indicates such reduction leads to an improvement in the disease state of atherosclerosis. Stedronsky, in "Interaction of bile acids and cholesterol with nonsystemic agents having hypocholesterolemic properties," Hiochimica et Bio_phvsica Acta, 1210 (1994) 255-287 discusses the biochemistry, physiology and known active agents ' surrounding bile acids and cholesterol.
Pathophysiologic alterations are shown to be consistent with interruption of the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids in humans by Heub_i, J.E., et al. See "Primary Bile Acid Malabsorption: Defective in Vitro Ileal Active Bile Acid Transport", Gastroenteroloav, 1982:83:804-11.
In fact, cholestyramine binds the bile acids in the intestinal tract, thereby interfering with their normal enterohepatic circulation (Reihner, E. et al, in °Regulation of hepatic cholesterol metabolism in humans: stimulatory effects of cholestyramine on HMG-CoA reductase activity and low density lipoprotein receptor expression in gallstone patients", Journal of Lipid Research, Volume 31, 1990, 2219-2226 and Suckling el al, "Cholesterol Lowering and bile acid excretion in the hamster with cholestyramine treatment", Atheroscleros~s, 89(1991) 183-190). This results in an increase in liver bile acid synthesis by the liver using cholesterol as well as an upregulation of the liver LDL receptors which enhances clearance of cholesterol and decreases serum LDL cholesterol levels.
In another approach to the reduction of recirculation of bile acids, the ileal bile acid transport system is a putative pharmaceutical target for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia based on an interruption of the enterohepatic circulation with specific transport inhibitors (Kramer, et al, "Intestinal Bile Acid Absorption" The Journa~~of Hiolouical Chemi~t~-..~ Vol. 268, No. 24, Issue of August 25, pp. 18035-18046, 1993).
o~, In a series of patent applications, eg Canadian Patent Application Nos. 2,025,294; 2,078,588;
2,085,782; and 2,085,830; and EP Application Nos. 0 379 161; 0 549 967; 0 559 064; and 0 563 731, Hoechst Aktiengesellschaft discloses polymers of various naturally occurring constituents of the enterohepatic circulation system and their derivatives, including bile acid, which inhibit the physiological bile acid transport with the goal of reducing the LDL cholesterol level sufficiently to be effective as pharmaceuticals and', in particular for use as hypocholesterolemic agents.
In vitro bile acid transportinhibition is disclosed to show hypolipidemic activity in The Wellcome Foundation Limited disclosure of the world patent application number WO 93/16055 for "Hypolipidemic Benzothiazepine Compounds"
Selected benzothiepines are disclosed in world patent application number W093/321146 for numerous uses including fatty acid metabolism and coronary vascular diseases.
Other selected benzothiepines are known for use as hypolipaemic and hypocholesterolaemic agents, especially for the treatment or prevention of atherosclerosis as disclosed by application Nos. EP
508425, FR 2661676, and WO 92/18462, each of which is limited by an amide bonded to the carbon adjacent the phenyl ring of the fused bicyclo benzothiepine ring.
The above references show continuing efforts to find safe, effective agents for the prophylaxis and treatment of hyperlipidemic diseases and their usefulness as hypocholesterolemic agents.
Additionally selected benzothiepines are disclosed ' for use in various disease states not within the present invention utility. These are EP 568 898A as abstracted by Derwent Abstract No. 93-351589; WO
89/1477/A as abstracted in Derwent Abstract No. 89-370688; U.S. 3,520.891 abstracted in Derwent 507018-B;
US 3,287,370, US 3,389,144; US 3,694,446 abstracted in Derwent Abstr. No. 65860T-B and WO 92/18462.
HMG Co-A reductase inhibitors have been used as cholesterol-lowering agents. This class of compounds inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzymE A (HMG Co-A) reductase. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG Co-A to mevalonate, which is an early and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol.
' Benzothiazepine anti-hyperlipidemic agents are disclosed in WO 94/18183, WO 94/18184, WO 96/05188, WO
96/16051, AU-A-30209/92, AU-A-61946/94, AU-A-61948/94, and AU-A- 61949/94.
The present invention furthers such efforts by providing novel pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of hyperlipidemic conditions.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or setting agents and suspending agents. .
The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxic .parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in I,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers encompass all the foregoing and the like.
In combination therapy, administration of the ileal bile acid transport inhibitor and HI~IG Co-A
reductase inhibitor may take place seguentially in separate formulations, or may be accomplished by simultaneous administration in a single formulation or separate formulations. Administration may be accomplished by oral route, or by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injections. The formulation may be in the form of a bolus, or in the form of aaqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules having one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable lb0 carriers or diluents, or a binder such as gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, together with one or more of a lubricant, preservative, surface active or dispersing agent.
For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension, or liquid. Capsules, tablets, etc., can be prepared by conventional methods resell known in the art. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient or ingredients. Examples of dosage units are tablets or capsules. These may with advantage contain one or more ileal bile acid transport inhibitors in an amount described above. In the case of HI~lG Co-A reductase inhibitors, the dose range may be from about 0.01 mg to about 500 mg or any other dose, dependent upon the specific inhibitor, as is known in the art.
The active ingredients may also be administered by injection as a composition wherein, for example, saline, dextrose, or water may be used as a suitable carrier. A suitable daily dose of each active inhibitor is one that achieves the same blood serum level as produced by oral administration.as described above.
The active inhibitors may further be administered by any dual combination of oral/oral, oral/parenteral, or parenteral/parenteral~route.
Pharmaceutical compositions for use in the' treatment methods of the present invention may be administered in oral form or by intravenous administration. Oral administration of the combination therapy is preferred. Dosing for oral administration Ib1 may be with a regimen calling for single daily dose, or for a single dose every other day, or for multiple, spaced doses throughout the day. The inhibitors which make up the combination therapy may be administered simultaneously, either in a combined dosage form or in separate dosage forms intended for substantially simultaneous oral administration. The inhibitors which make up the combination therapy may also be administered sequentially, with either inhibitor being administered by a regimen calling for two-step ingestion. Thus, a regimen may call for sequential administration of the inhibitors with spaced-apart ingestion of the separate, active agents. The time period between the multiple ingestion steps may range from a few minutes to several hours, depending upon the properties of each inhibitor such as potency.
solubility, bioavailability, plasma half-life and kinetic profile of the inhibitor, as well as depending upon the age and condition of the patient. The inhibitors of the combined therapy whether administered simultaneously, substantially simultaneously, or sequentially, may involve a regimen calling for administration of one inhibitor by oral route and the other inhibitor by intravenous route. Whether the inhibitors of the combined therapy are administered by oral or intravenous route, separately or together, each such inhibitor will be contained in a suitable pharmaceutical formulation of pharmaceutically=
acceptable'excipients, diluents or other formulations components. Examples of suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable formulations containing the inhibitors for oral administration are given above.

Treatment Recimen The dosage regimen to prevent, give relief from, or ameliorate a disease condition having hyperlipemia as an element of the disease, e.g., atherosclerosis, or to protect against or treat further high cholesterol plasma or blood levels with the compounds and/or compositions of the present invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors. These include the type, age, weight, sex, diet, and medical condition of the patient, the severity of the disease, the route of administration, pharmacological considerations such as the activity, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and toxicology profiles of the particular compound employed, whether a drug delivery system is utilized, and whether the compound is administered as part of a drug combination. Thus, the dosage regimen actually employed may vary widely and therefore deviate from the preferred dosage regimen set forth above.
Initial treatment of a patient suffering from a hyperlipidemic condition can begin with the dosages indicated above. Treatment should generally be continued as necessary over a period of several weeks to several months or years until the hyperlipidemic disease condition has been controlled or eliminated.
Patients undergoing treatment with the compounds or ' compositions disclosed herein can be routinely monitored by, for example, measuring serum LDL and total cholesterol levels by any of the methods well known in the art, to determine the effectiveness of the combination therapy.. Continuous analysis of such data permits modification of the treatment regimen during Ib3 therapy so that optimal effective amounts of each type of inhibitor arE administered at any point in time, and so that the duration of treatment can be determined as well. In this way, the treatment regimen/dosing schedule can be rationally modified over the course of therapy so that the lowest amount of ileal bile acid transport inhibitor and HIMG Co-A reductase inhibitor which together exhibit satisfactory effectiveness is administered, and so that administration is continued only so long as is necessary to successfully treat the hyperlipidemic condition.
A potential advantage of the combination therapy disclosed herein may be reduction of the amount of ileal bile acid transport inhibitor, HI~IG Co-A reductase inhibitor, or both, effective in treating hyperlipidemic conditions such as atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.
The following non-limiting examples serve to illustrate various aspects of the present invention.

Examples 80-84 Preparation of 115, 116, 111, 113 Preparation of 4-chloro-3-[4-methoxy-phenylmethyl~-nitrobenzene.
In a 500 ml 2-necked rb flask weigh out 68.3 gms phosphorus pentachloride (0.328 mole 1.1 eq). Add 50 mls chlorobenzene. Slowly add 60 gms 2-chloro-5 nitrobenzoic acid (0.298 mole). Stir at room temp overnight under N2 then heat 1 hr at 50C.
Remove chlorobenzene by high vacuum. Wash residue with hexane. Dry wt=55.5 gms.
In the same rb flask, dissolve acid chloride (55.5 g 0.25 mole) from above with 100 mls anisole (about 3.4 eq). Chill solution with ice bath while purging with N2. Slowly add 40.38 aluminum chloride (1.2 eq 0.3 mole). Stir under N~ for 24 hrs.
After 24 hrs, the solution was poured into 300 mls 1N HC1 soln. (cold). Stir this for 15 min. Extract several times with diethyl ether. Extract organic layer once with 2~ aqueous NaOH then twice with water.
Dry organic layer with MgS04, dry on vac line. Solid is washed well with ether and then ethanol before drying. Wt=34.578 (mixture of meta, ortho and para).

4-Chloro-3-[4-methoxy-phenylmethyl]-nitrobenzene was then reacted as specified in the synthesis of 117 and 118 from 2-chloro-4-nitrophenylmethane. From these procedures 115 and 116 can be synthesized. Compounds 111 and 113 can be synthesized from the procedure used to prepare compound 121.
Compound 114 can be prepared by reaction of 116 with ethyl mercaptan and aluminum trichloride.
Examples 85 and 86 Preparation of 117 and 118 2-Chloro-4-nitrobenzophenone is reduced with triethylsilane and trifluoromethane sulfonic acid to 2-chloro-4-nitrodiphenylmethane 32. Reaction of 32 with lithium sulfide followed by reacting the resulting sulfide with mesylate IV gives sulfide-aldehyde XXIII.
Oxidation of XXIII with 2 equivalents of MCPBA yields sulfone-aldehyde XXIII. Oxidation of XXIII with 2 equivalents of MCPBA yields sulfone-aldehyde XXIV (see Scheme 5).
The sulfone-aldehyde (31.8 g) was dissolved in ethanol/toluene and placed in a parr reactor with 100 ml toluene and 100 ml of ethanol and 3.2 g of 10% Pd/C
and heated to 55 C and 100 psi of hydrogen gas for 14 hours. The reaction was then filtered to remove the catalyst. The amine product (.076 moles, 29.5 g) from this reaction was then reacted with benzyl chloroformate (27.4g) in toluene in the presence of 35 g of potassium carbonate and stirred at room ~a-l i temperature overnight. After work up by extraction with water, the CBZ protected amine product was further purified by precipitation from toluene/hexane.
The CBZ protected amine product was then reacted with 3 equivalents of potassium t-butoxide in THF at O
C to yield compounds 117 and 118 which were separated by silica gel column chromatography.
Examples 89 and 90 Preparation of 121 or 122 Compound 118 (.013 moles, 6.79g) is dissolved in 135 ml of dry chloroform and cooled to -78 C, next 1.85 ml of boron tribromide (4.9 g) was added and the reaction is allowed to warm to room temperature.
Reaction is complete after 1.5 hours. The reaction is quenched by addition of 10$ potassium carbonate at 0 C
and extract with ether. Removal of ether yields compound 121. A similar procedure can be used to produce 122 from 117.
Examples 93-96 Compounds 126, 127, 128 and 129 as set forth in Table 3 were prepared substantially in the manner described above for compounds 115, 116, 111 and 113, respectively, except that fluorobenzene was used as a starting material in place of anisole.

Measurement of Fecal Bile Acid Concentration (FBA
Total fecal output from individually housed hamsters was collected for 24 or 48 hours, dried under a stream of nitrogen, pulverized and weighed.
Approximately 0.1 gram was weighed out and extracted into an organic solvent (butanol/water). Following separation and drying, the residue was dissolved in methanol and the amount of bile acid present~was measured enzymatically using the 3a-hydroxysteroid steroid dehydrogenase reaction with bile acids to reduce NAD. (Reference: Mashige, F., et al. (1981) a~ ~

WO 98/40375 PCT/US98/03~92 Clin. Chem. 27, 1352).
j'H7taurocholate Uptake in Rabbit Hrush Border Membrane yesicles (BHMV) Rabbit Ileal brush border membranes were prepared from frozen ileal mucosa by the calcium precipitation method describe by Malathi et al. (Reference: (1979) Biochimica Biophysica Acta, 554, 259). The method for measuring taurocholate was essentially as described by Kramer et a1. (Reference: (1992) Biochimica Biophysica Acta, 1111, 93) except the assay volume was 200 ul instead of 100 ul. Briefly, at room temperature a 190 ul solution containing 2uM ('H]-taurocholate(0.75 uCi), 20 mM tris, 100 mM NaCl, 100 mM mannitol pH 7.4 was incubated for 5 sec with 10 ul of brush border membrane vesicles (60-120 pg protein). The incubation was initiated by the addition of the BBMV while vortexing and the reaction was stopped by the addition of 5 ml of ice cold buffer (20 mM Hepes-tris, 150 mM KC1) followed immediately by filtration through a nylon filter (0.2 um poze) and an additional 5 ml wash with stop buffer.
Acvl-CoA;cholesterol Acvl Transferase (ACAT) Hamster liver and rat intestinal microsomes were prepared from tissue as described previously (Reference: (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 9098) and used as a source of ACAT enzyme. The assay consisted of a-2.0 ml incubation containing 24 ),1M Oleoyl-CoA (0.05 uCi) in a 50 mM sodium phosphate, 2 mM DTT ph 7.4 buffer containing 0.25 $ BSA and 200 ug of microsomal protein. The assay was initiated by the addition of oleoyl-Cod. The reaction went for 5 min at 37° C and was terminated by the addition of 8.0 ml of chloroform/
methanol (2:1). To the extraction was added 125 ug of cholesterol oleate in chloroform methanol to'act as a carrier and the organic and aqueous phases of the extraction were separated by centrifugation after thorough vortexing. The chloroform phase was taken to a9'1 dryness and then spotted on a silica gel 60 TLC plate and developed in hexane/ethyl ether (9:1). The amount of cholesterol ester formed was determined by measuring the amount of radioactivity incorporated into the cholesterol oleate spot on the TLC plate with a Packard instaimager.
Data from each of the noted compounds in the assays described above is as set forth in TABLES 5, 6, 7, and 8 as follows:
